Smith County Commissioners Court Construction Update
The Smith County Commissioners Court received an update on the construction of the Smith County Courthouse. Despite weather-related delays, the project remains on schedule. The construction includes a seven-story courthouse with underground parking and a tunnel system connecting to the jail. Discussions covered the installation of interior and exterior walls, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire suppression systems. The court approved finishing an additional court on the fifth floor, funded by interest earned from courthouse and parking garage bonds. The project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026, with the final phase, including the demolition of the current courthouse and construction of green space, anticipated in the spring of 2027.
